Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #23 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye, who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the heavenly light:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
3 Sages, leave your contemplations;
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations,
Ye have seen His natal star:Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
5 Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains;
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you, break your chains:
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
